Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds share new single 'Frogs', lifted from forthcoming album 'Wild God' • News • DIY Magazine

Having confirmed that their forthcoming 18th studio album ‘Wild God’ will arrive on 30th August, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have now shared another pre-release taste of what to expect from the LP in the form of new single ‘Frogs’.

Opening with a statement making, Bible-inspired couplet (“Ushering in the week he knelt down and crushed his brother’s head in with a bone / It’s my great privilege to walk you home”), the track’s lyrics were the first Cave wrote for ‘Wild God’, and set the tone for the richly evocative imagery that imbues the rest of the album.

Speaking about the new cut, Cave has simply said: “The sheer exuberance of a song like ‘Frogs’, it just puts a big fucking smile on my face.”
